Growler. Pours a completely clear golden color with a small head that almost simultaneously fades into nothing. Aroma is grainy with fruity esters and fruity hops spikes. There is a good amount of citrus, possibly coriander. It is a very nice mix of aspects, well balanced. Taste is less complex but with that herbal yeast finish. Otherwise lightly sweet with some bitter light hoppiness. Very nice and highly drinkable.

Growler that beastiefan2k grabbed at the brewpub and shared with us. Pour is mostly clear golden with a smallish white head. Aroma of sweet fruit (non-sour cherry), floral, spiciness and some bright resin hoppiness behind that. Taste is the nose, with a honey sweetness in addition to the fruit from the nose off the back. Yeasty spiciness with the floral hops. Palate is medium, grassy and has the bitterness in the back. I enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing Eugene.
